Farah's brother will come to the rescue
Tina, Hobbs and Farah are in a bad way, and there's no one else who can help them. Dirk is in blackwing, Todd and Manda are holding the door for him and the Rowdy 3 are holding off Suzie. There's literally no one else who could possibly come to their rescue before they all bleed out.
  • Jossed: Farah's brother doesn't make an appearance in the season 2 finale. Instead, Todd appears in an ambulance to rescue them, courtesy of Francis/The Boy.

The Rowdy Three are not mis-named.

Only three of them are actually rowdy. The fourth is perfectly mellow and reasonable. Probably Vogle.

  • Mostly confirmed: The addition of a fourth member to their group changed their dynamic enough to make them difficult to contain.

The Projects all parallel each other.
Seeing as how Dirk and Bart are 'the same but different' and that parallels are incredibly important to their arcs, this troper believes that it is reasonable to assume all the projects have someone 'the same but different'. So there is probably a group or individual distaff to the Rowdy Three who go around healing those who need it.

Bart was known as Project Angel.
Just a hunch since it came up that she's like a guardian killer angel and seeing as how she's a punisher, this makes thematic sense.
  • Jossed: Bart was Project Marzanna, after a european goddess of fate and death.

Project Moloch is 'The Boy'
It seems reasonably obvious at this point. Wendimoor and the 'House within a House' and the Purple People Eater are all constructs of a child's imagining in a house that has been abandoned for decades and is a closed off Blackwing Site - Wendimoor folk use scissors as weapons and a pair of scissors was used to murder one of the Cardenas's. The question is how Dirk is wrapped up in this, but we're given information early on there - Dirk was allowed to interact with other subjects whilst held in Blackwing as a child, including Project Moloch. While Moloch is now comatose following a stroke, Dirk considered him a friend and assistant, and so his presence may have influenced Moloch's subconscious and Wendimoor itself.

Ken was more affected by his and Bart's final talk than he realized
He did seem to brush it off, but given how he'd earlier seen and appreciated how accurate Bart's powers worked, maybe he did have a well-disguised Heel Realization at finding out the universe wanted her to kill him (assuming she was being completely honest about that) and was contemplating a different path without wanting to look weak in front of Mr. Priest. The fact that Bart's powers had told her to kill Susie at a time when she was in a fairly innocent state, but also didn't tell her to kill Ken at any point earlier after she first met him is also a good sign.

Dirk's true power isn't 100% accurate guesses...
...It's the power to make up reality. Whatever he guesses may seem just like non-psychic psychic stuff but actually, he's more like the god of his own world that doesn't even realize he's a god! It's like those Haruhi Suzumiya WMG'S all over again.

In the end, Mona will transform into an entire universe.
She's the backup-plan for the universe in case things don't work out.

The Rowdy 3 are "Holistic Anarchists".

The Netflix version of Dirk is a Timelord
Shortly after arriving on Earth he was abducted by Project Blackwing and his memories of being a Timelord were messed with, but they are there somewhere and affect his thoughts, words, and actions. Also this thing about him:
"I always end up exactly where I need to be, despite the fact it's rarely where I intended to go."
